A/U: HEY! So, I want to make this a long chapter, so it might take a long time to get posted. I hope you all like it!

Circe sat comfortably between her cousins' bodies. It was time; she had to tell them what had happened. She took a deep breath.
"It happened about five years ago, when I was ten. I must have been living in America for a long time, because I don't really remember living anywhere else. Anyways, I had just gotten a new baby sitter, a guy named Ethan. We had met him during my school science fair. It was a large school, with all grades in it. I had gotten lost from my parents and was crying. A tall boy with dark eyes came and found me. It was Ethan. I formed a strong bond with him, and my parents began to have him babysit me.
"It was a Friday night. Something was wrong with Ethan, but I was little so I couldn't place it. He kept talking about being hungry, but every time I asked if he wanted to go get food, he tried to laugh and say 'I'm not hungry for that, little one.' The night passed and it was getting late, about time for my parents to get home. Every time I tried to go sit in his lap he pushed me away, till finally, I threw a fit. He snapped and yelled at me. His eyes turned bright red, and I was scared. Just then, my parents came through the door. All that blood in one single room, Ethan couldn't take it.
"I hid in the bathroom, crying. I tried very hard not to scream. I didn't see what he did to my parents; I only knew one thing right then. He was a vampire, and I was afraid of him. I curled up in the corner as I saw his shadow come towards me. I hand grabbed the back of my shirt and I screamed. He pulled my head back, covered my mouth, and bit down on my neck. The pain was unbearable. I blacked out.
"I woke up in the hospital. A lonely ten year old, finding out her parents were dead. I had to stay in the hospital for two weeks, massive blood loss. I was then put in a foster home. I hated it; I was always scared of getting attacked again. Of course, I acted tough. Everyone thought I was so cool and badass. I learned to fight, how to use weapons, even how to make common things into weapons. If I wasn't practicing or working out or doing homework or something, I was crying, so I always worked. I never really rested. Then, about a year ago, I thought 'what if I have real family still out there? I have to find them!' I stopped working out and everything, obsessed with the thought of connection.
"About a month ago, I found you guys. I contacted the Headmaster and told him about what I found. He suggested that I get a transfer to here. We set everything up, I never told my foster parents. Then, I packed up and left. My foster mother tried to stop me as I got on to the bus to the airport, but I yelled at her about if I had real family, why would I stay there?
"Then, vampires were there to bring me here. I couldn't stay calm, cool, and strong. I sat in the bathroom on the plane and started crying. Someone knocked on the door, and it was a vampire. He put me to sleep, it was the same vampire I saw today, the one who came out of nowhere-"
"WHAT? DID HE HURT YOU? ARE YOU OKAY?" Ichiru interrupted her, screaming. Zero flinched at the sudden volume.
"No, I ran to here." Circe whispered. Ichiru hugged her tightly.
"Is he still alive?" Zero quietly asked.
"What?" Circe turned slowly.
"IS HE STILL ALIVE? DID HE GET AWAY?" Zero's anger burst through all his barriers. He stood and grabbed his gun from the table.
Circe shrunk into Ichiru when Zero began yelling. "Yea, he didn't hurt me, so I didn't shoot him..." she trailed off as the boy towered over her small body on the floor.
"Not him. That… monster that attacked you and your parents. Did he get out alive?"
"I-I don't know. I think so."
"We're leaving. Next week."
"What!" The two on the ground gasped.
"She just got here" The other twin stood up, "Maybe you're being too rash out of anger."
Zero gave Ichiru such a dramatic glare, that he slowly picked up Circe and put her in front of his face.
"What are you doing with her?" Zero ceased his glaring and looked confused.
"It worked!" Ichiru put his cousin down and grinned.
"What worked?" Circe looked between the two.
"I figured that if I put something cute and innocent between us, you'd stop glaring. It worked!" Everyone started laughing, and it relieved the tension, if only for a minute.
"Shit!" Zero yelled as he looked at the clock.
"Damn it!" Ichiru ran into the closet and grabbed his Katana sword.
"What?" Circe stood in bewilderment as her cousins grabbed her stuff and pulled her out of the room. "Where are we going? What are we doing? STOP!" she shouted.
"We have to go and patrol while the Night students go to school, and keep the day students from attacking them." Zero quickly explained.
"Ugh you're too slow Hun; get on my back so I can run." Ichiru slung her over his shoulder and broke into a sprint. Within a few minutes, they were at the gates, and Yuuki was having a hard time keeping all the girls back.
"Ugh, stupid girls, I really didn't want to have to yell today," Zero complained.
"Oh! Can I yell?" Circe started bouncing up and down.
"Uh, sure? Run over by Yuuki and yell at them to quiet down and stand back." Zero looked quizzically at the child as she began to push through the crowd.
"Hi Yuuki!" Circe smiled.
"Hey! How are you?" Yuuki looked down. It was so strange; Circe was just like Zero and Ichiru, but smaller and female. She was about a foot smaller than the boys and very thin. She looked strong enough to hold her own, but also timid. She was extremely pale, so her lilac eyes popped brightly. That is, when you could see it from behind her silver hair that reached her lower back. She might look just like her family, but she was so different.
"I'm good. They said I could yell at these people to shut up and back down, so can i?"
"Sure, go ahead!"
"Yay!" Circe smiled and took a deep breath. "YO! EVERYONE SHUT THE HELL UP AND BACK DOWN!" Several students standing by her had to cover their ears at the volume she was able to reach.
"Why should we? Who are you?" a girl yelled back.
"You don't have to answer them" Yuuki glared at the girl who spoke.
"Help me get on top of the wall." Circe didn't need help actually; she just didn't know how to reply. She climbed up a tree and jumped onto the wall.
"HEY EVERYBODY LOOK UP HERE!" she screamed. Everyone looked at her and silenced. "SO SOME OF YOU HEARD THERE WAS A NEW GIRL. THAT WOULD BE ME. I MOVED HERE FROM AMERICA, AND A LOT OF YOU SAY I LOOK LIKE SOME OTHER GUYS THAT GO HERE. JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW, MY NAME IS CIRCE..." she paused a minute, making a snap decision about her life. "KIRYUU!" Circe finished and smiled. She caught the faces of her cousins. Ichiru smiled, happy that she changed her name, but she couldn't tell what Zero was thinking.
"SO YOU'RE RELATED TO THE TWINS?" a kid yelled back at her.
"YES, I AM THE COUSIN OF ZERO AND ICHIRU KIRYUU, AND I'M DAMN-" Circe slipped off the top of the wall. She shrieked as she fell, about to crash to her death.
"Oof," someone winced as they caught her. Circe opened her eyes. It was him. That vampire. Her body froze.
"Hey again." He smiled at her, "you should be careful"
"Ichijo! Let her go" zero and Ichiru ran over to them. Ichijo put Circe down, and she ran to hide behind them.
"That's him," she whispered. "The one from the forest."
Zero grabbed the front of the vampire's shirt, "You stay the hell away from her, do you understand me?" he growled.
"Kiryuu, please relax." Kaname walked up. "He just saved you're kin."
"He's been following her!" Ichiru yelled, "She's deathly afraid of vampires, and he keeps following her, scaring her more!"
"Um... I have an idea..." Yuuki quietly began whispering her plan to the twins and Kaname, shutting Circe out.
"What are you doing?" Circe asked.
"You'll see!" Yuuki gave her a small smile.
A/N: Yay! Wow, that was a long chapter right? And, I typed most of it with a sprained pinky! Oooo what's Yuuki's plan? You'll find out soon! BTW, if I get a part in my school musical, I'm sad to say I won't get to update as much. I'm so sorry! For now, just tell me what you thought of this chapter!
